THE POTENTIAL ancient Satanic origins of Stephen King’s evil clown Pennywise from the horror film IT have been revealed in this real life Satanic Ritual that sees worshippers visit the dead while wearing red noses.

Despite the comical appearance of the “Dark Harlequin” ritual the Satanists claim their religion is just like ‘any other faith’.

The ritualistic photographs were taken in the suburbs of Prague, Czech Republic by local photographer David Tesinsky (28).

“This group practice Satanism because it makes their lives happy and successful. It was a very spiritual experience for them and they compare it to any other faith such as Christianity or Buddhism,” said Tesinsky.

The group worship the Czech-Slovakian temple of Satan and they do it because they believe in individualism.

The Church of Satan is a religious organization dedicated to Satanism as codified in The Satanic Bible. It is the oldest official organisation for the worship of Satan. The Church of Satan was established at the Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey, who was the church’s High Priest until his death in 1997. In 2001, Peter H. Gilmore was appointed to the position of high priest, and the church’s headquarters were moved to Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City.

The church does not believe in the Devil, nor a Christian or Islamic notion of Satan. High priest Peter H. Gilmore describes its members as “skeptical atheists”, embracing the Hebrew root of the word “Satan” as “adversary”.

The church views Satan as a positive archetype who represents pride, individualism, and enlightenment, and as a symbol of defiance against the Abrahamic faiths which LaVey criticized for what he saw as the suppression of humanity’s natural instincts.
